Craft room – Grand Reopening!

I'm so excited to be able to announce this!  I've got a date for my Grand Reopening of my craft room, and you're all invited! I'm hosting an open house from 10am-2pm on both Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th May, where you can come and see my new happy place. I'm combining this with the launch of the new Stampin' Up! Annual Book 2025-26, so come and see new goodies demonstrated, and have a play with the latest products. I'll have refreshments (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic!) plus a goodie bag for everyone who RSVPs in advance, plus sign-up sheets [...]
